After first two races of the season, Jáchym Galáš leads the junior standings with 22 points. He is followed by a rookie Michal Makeš in 2nd position with 10 points and Dušan Kouřil Jr. holds the 3rd place with 8 points.
The TCR Eastern Europe series has started its 2nd season last weekend at Grobnik, Croatia. The starting grid also featured 5 junior drivers, who have shown some strong pace.
Jáchym Galáš was the most visible one. The GT2 Motorsport driver, who finished 2nd in the last year’s championship, is always a threat in a battle for the podium. While he finished 5th in the first race of the weekend, he managed to improve to the 4th place in the second race. Thanks to that, he now has 22 points.
